Got files. Looking at. I wonder if this is TBC version specific?
More in a bit...
TBC 5.20
I believe all your files, except for the .ngs file are correct.
There is a formatting error in the file 'as_ant2bcal.ngs' on line 21.?ÿ
And...
I have never seen an antinfo file (.003) that has a non-zero entry as the first listed elevation under either the L1 and L2 offsets. So I believe your listed offsets are errant.
Additionally, the values in your file do not match the values in the NGS calibration file.
Your File (after I edited the formatting error):
;Elevation range (deg) Start Stop Step ElevationRange = 10 90 5 ;Azimuth step size (deg) AzimuthStep = 0 ;Azimuth/elevation corrections (mm) AZ=0 ;L1 -6.1 -1.0 3.0 5.9 7.9 9.0 9.5 9.4 8.8 7.8 6.6 5.2 3.8 2.4 1.3 0.4 0.0 ;L2 1.0 3.2 4.8 5.8 6.4 6.6 6.7 6.7 6.6 6.4 6.2 5.8 5.3 4.6 3.6 2.10 0.0
NGS File:
AS-ANT2BCAL NONE ArduSimple ANT2B-CAL, ARP:BAM, RXC->N NGS ( 3) 20/05/08
1.3 0.1 58.4
0.0 0.2 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.9 1.2
1.4 1.6 1.6 1.3 0.7 -0.3 -1.7 0.0 0.0
-0.3 2.6 49.5
0.0 2.0 3.1 3.5 3.5 3.2 2.8 2.2 1.8 1.5
1.4 1.7 2.4 3.0 3.5 3.7 3.7 0.0 0.0
Don't be confused by the elevation ordering, in some formats it is defined as elevation above the horizon and in others elevation down from Zenith. However, the order is always the same.
Notice that the NGS file starts at 0 degrees, not 10. If you don't have 0, 5 degree calibration values, I would zero fill them and start at 0 degrees. I don't think I have ever seen a file that does not start at 0 deg and I would not trust the TBC/SPSO engine to interpret it correctly.
If you are doing a custom antenna calibration and you don't care about 0 and 5 deg, just 0 fill them.

Excellent Mark! Thank you very much.
I will implement it and comment on the results.
Good day.
Unfortunately the post process continues to fail. I have snapshots of the files used and some questions about the configuration of the .ngs files found in the C: Program Files (x86) Common Files Trimble Config folder in Trimble Business Center.
For example, for the CHCX900S-OPUS file the values used for the "UP" offset in both L1 and L2

For example, for the CHCX900S-OPUS file the values used for the "UP" offset in both L1 and L2 differ from the information taken from the NOAA antenna configuration.
